Moar Concrete Wiki

Concrete comes in sixteen colours and exactly one shape: a full cube. That is fine for a flat wall and awkward for anything else. A roof needs stairs, a floor reads better with slabs, a terrace wants a fence along the edge — and none of those exist in concrete, so a build in a strong colour ends up finished in stone or wool.

This fills the gap. Every colour gains the same set of shapes, so a build can stay one material and one colour from the foundation to the ridge.

Ten shapes for each of the sixteen colours, one hundred and sixty blocks in total.

Structural

• Stairs — for roofs, steps and capped walls.
• Slabs — half-height, placed top or bottom, and stackable back into a full block.
• Walls — the low, thick barrier shape that connects to its neighbours.
• Fences and fence gates — for yards, balconies and terraces.

Surface

• Bricks — a laid-brick pattern in the colour.
• Brick slabs — the half-height version of the brick pattern.
• Textured — a broken-up face for large flat surfaces.

Detail

• Panels — the thin, pane-like shape, for windows, railings and dividers.
• Buttons — the small pressable block.

The shaped pieces are made from concrete you already have, so there is nothing new to gather first.

• On a crafting bench — the usual shape recipes: three across two rows in a stepped pattern for stairs, a row of three for slabs and walls, the standard fence and gate arrangements, and a single block for a button.
• With a cutter — most pieces also have a cutting recipe, which is the cheaper route when you need a lot of one shape.

Broken blocks drop themselves, so anything placed can be taken back and used elsewhere.

The textured finish is the one exception. It has no recipe and it is stocked from the creative menu rather than made in survival; broken, it does not drop. Treat it as a decorative face for builds rather than a survival material.

The other nine shapes behave normally in survival: craft them, place them, mine them, get them back.

Each block copies its behaviour from the vanilla concrete of the same colour, so nothing about them is surprising:

• Same hardness, so they take the same time to break.
• Same tool — a pickaxe is the fastest way through.
• Same block sounds when placed, broken and walked on.
• Same colour values, exactly. White stairs are the white of white concrete, so new pieces sit against existing concrete with no visible seam.

Slabs, stairs, walls, fences, gates and panels use the standard vanilla shapes, which means they connect to their vanilla counterparts the way you would expect.

There are two places to look:

• A dedicated tab collects the whole set together, grouped by shape, which is the quickest way to pick through the full range.
• The blocks also appear in the coloured blocks tab beside the vanilla concrete they match, so you can grab the shape you need without leaving the tab you are already in. Buttons sit with the other buttons instead.

Nothing outside the blocks themselves:

• No vanilla recipe is altered or removed.
• No new mobs, items, entities or structures.
• World generation is untouched — none of these blocks generate naturally.
• No changes to how vanilla concrete or concrete powder work.

A world can be opened with or without this and the terrain, the loot and the recipes stay the same; only the extra blocks appear or disappear.
